On Sunday, Pete Carroll's Seattle Seahawks were down by 4 points with 26 second left but appeared poised to win the game. On 2nd-and-goal from the 1-yard line, Carroll called for QB Russell Wilson to attempt a pass rather than hand off to running back Marshawn Lynch. Wilson's pass was intercepted, and New England held on to win Super Bowl XLIX 28-24.

Oh, those Blazers! On June 28, 2007, in the NBA Draft, the Portland Trail Blazers had the No. 1 pick. They opted for Ohio State's Greg Oden. Taken No. 2 by the Seattle SuperSonics was a Texas freshman named Kevin Durant. Durant would win the NBA MVP award in 2013 and become a six-time All-Star. Oden would play with the Blazers until 2012, and then end up in Miami.
